Doug Loft played at left back because the four man coaching staff wanted some experience in the back four.

I personally thought that Doug Loft struggled at left back through-out the entire game against Walsall and at least when Bradley Garmston came on, Gillingham had a left back playing at left back, although I do think that Bradley Garmston looks like a attacking winger who is being asked to play as a full back because his defensive qualities are not as good as his attacking ability.

We need to see more from Loft,as a player and a Captain.Loft was our big summer signing,and we have not seen Loft anywhere near the level he can play.Port Vale fans were sad to see him go,so we know he is a good player.A new manager coming in may make Loft up his game as he could lose his place and Captaincy.
